policy supply He considers that to be the only surc cure forinflation MONETARY POLICY As it happens that policy of gradual monetary contraction seems to have been the brainchild of another academic economist William Hood who was deputy finance minister until the Clark government rcqucstcd his resignation recently Laidtcr regards the Trudeau governments post1975 monetary policy as success be cause the inflation rate 84 per cent in the 12 months ending in Augusti has fallen by about thrcc percentage points since 1975 In the same period he says the US in tlutiun rate has risen to 12 per cent from six To bring Canadian inflation down by quarter over period in which our dominant trading partner has with quite breathtaking incompetence doubled its inflation rate and over pcriod when our exchange rate visa vis the world as whole has declined by over 30 per cent is considerable ac comnlishmcnt Ihc actual rate of increase in Canadian consumer prices was 108 per cent for both 1974 and lth The firstquarter 1975 inflation rate was 117 per cent which may be the basis for claiming three percentagepoint decline since 1975 In the fourth quarter of 1976 however the ratc of increase in consumer prices was down to 59 per cent In the final month of 1976 it was per cent Thc most recent rate 84 per cent is therefore one and half times the late1976 ratc which raises some doubt about the efficacy of post1975 monetary policy ANTINFL TlON The relatively speedy decline in the in flation rate from 109 per cent in the July Scptcmbcr period of 1975 to 56 per cent at lllt cnd of thc following year coincided with thc imposition of antiinflati0n restraints starting in early October 1975 But Laidlcr considers restraints to be ineffective In practice as we know well enough all the incentives are to avoid the impact of controls on oneself legally if possible whilc hoping that everybody else will obey them It would be more accurate to categorize wagc and pricc controls as one of the destruc tive political consequences of inflation than as useful device of antiinflation policy The world today By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service That breath of fresh air in our foreign policy statements is coming from Flora Macdonald our new Minister of External Affairs see it to be slowlypaced but determined program to commit Canadian external rela tions to human rights issues Her first speech to the General Assembly of the United Nations this week follows on her strong public statements in Tokyo in June about the inhumanity of the expulsion of the ethnic Chinese from Communist Vietnam This time she warned the UN of its in cipient irrelevancy in the face of so much human depradation and of operating through system of procedure and protocol to rival that of Byzantium She also proposred that the UN create the new post of UnderSecretary with an ombuds man role to deal with gross violation of human rights anywhere in the world In doing this Miss Macdonald is not engaged in spectacular display of public relations for our new Tory government But her views are based on wellestablished and longheld views by herself and other senior members of the Clark cabinet on human rights needs While Miss Macdonald has been advancing human rights on the international stage her fellow cabinet Minister Michael Wilson the brand new Secretary of State for In ternational Trade has been in Argengina In country which has been massive and brutal violator of human rights since the current Videla military government seized power in 1976 Mr Wilson hopes to sell second CANDU commercial nuclear reactor This would be major sale both in terms of capital equipment and job security for the 30000 member Canadian nuclear industry Backgrounder Kim Pattenden FLORA MacDONALD addrcsscd lN However the latest count of disappeared citizens in that nation comes to between five and ten thousand according to visiting team of the InterAmerican Human Rights Commission who were allowed to inspect the country earlier this month The New York Times in an editorial of September 19th last titled Redeeming Argentinas Name quotes an Argentine army general as saying there are the dead the wounded the jailed and those who are absent forever Dont ask for explanations where there are none mont Floras foreign policy stand like breath of fresh air For those who say cynically that Canada can do nothing to prevent or forcstal mass human rights violations in Iran Vietnam and Cambodia we can do something about Argentina We are offering Argentina the same kind of commercial nuclear capacity we have at home This is an independent system of plant and heavy water fuel which does not rely on sources of enriched uranium held only by nuclear superpowers like the United States and France President Jimmy Carters campaign for human rights has shown it can get results in Latin America at least Witness the reaction to it from the tough military government of Chile since he was elected in 1976 That country under American pressure and which may be the recipient of major slice of Canadian technology in the form of new $250 million copper minei has released 500 political prisoners since 1976 and endcd the life of its once vicious secret police ser Vice So far no similar pressures have been brought to bear by Canada on Argentinas military regime next door which is proving to be more brutal and recalcitrant than the Chilean CONFLICTING STANDS Miss Macdonald and Mr Wilson represent two potentially fonclicting views in our ruling Tory party This is between socallcd Red Tories like herself who place human rights first and rightwing Tories like Mr Wilson who place our economic selfinterest first Admittedly times are very tough for Canadian industry and we need all the overseas business we can get Nevertheless Argentina also offers Miss Macdonald and Prime Minister Clark chance to apply pressure Lack of civic rights shocking TORONTO tCP Two police officers pound on your door at two in the morning and demand to be let in because they believe criminal youve never even heard of is hiding there They have no search warrant and you refuse but they break down the door search your house and find nothing Confident of your rights you sue them for the damage theyve done Your case is throvm out of court If youre surprised at the outcome of this case which actually went to the Supreme Court of Canada civil rights lawyers say its because youve been watching too many American television shows The question of just what rights Canadians have arose again recently after Albert Johnson 35yearold black was shot in his home by police It may take months to sort out the facts of his death but lawyers say its time Canadians turned off the television set and looked at just what protection they have under the law Most Canadians would be shocked to find out how few rights they actually have says lawyer Edward Greenspan While most Canadians firmly believe that once theyre arrested they must immediately be read statement of their rights warning they know by heart from TV its not required in Canada And while the Canadian Bill of Rights specifies that person who has been arrested or detained by police has the right to retain and instruct counsel without delay courts have routinely admitted evidence obtained before suspect was allowed to talk to anyone You dont have the right to call lawyer in this country Greenspan says You never have had and from what can judge you never will RIGHTS ARE AGLE Greenspan maintains that policé powers in this country are well laid out in law but the rights of citizens are hopelessly vague Alan Borovoy general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association says that the Bill of Rights has been almost useless We have imposed lot of very wide powers in the police and simply trust they will be used wisely Borovoy says In the past we got away with it because it was relatively tranquil society Greenspan says that Canadians have complete misunderstanding of their rights from watching US television But what amazes me even more is the total apathy of the public even when they find out Either they dont want to go anything about it or they totally refuse to believe they dont have thnsp riohtc The only people who carry the banner are the ones who got involved for the first time and were astroundcd by what the police did and how few rights they had Imagine the police swarming down on stadium during football game and stripping and searching all 50000 fans because they believe some of them are carrying drugs It may sound ludicrous but its legal under Canadas Narcotic Control Act which allows the police to conduct drug raid without warrant on any place other than private home and search anyone they find there An abuse of that power came in 1974 drug raid on the Landmark Hotel in Fort Erie 0nt where 50 police searched more than 100 nightclub patrons and stripped all 37 women for intimate body searches Six ounces of marijuana were found RAID was IittLlSll Theincident sparked royal commission investigation Judge John Pringlc found that the raid was foolish and unnecessary and recommended that the unlimited power of po lice to search citizens caught in drug raids be curtailed The recommendation was ignored While police must apply for search warrant to enter private home the RCMP can walk in to look for drugs or smuggled goods or income tax evidence under the power of general writ of assistance which 15 issued to an officer for life legislature comes back By DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO After some shoving on the part of the provincial govemmcnt the Lords Prayer is in theoryt back in the classroom here Calling it divisive in multicultural society the Toronto board of education tried to abolish the prayer and replace it with minutes silent meditation The resulting uproar across the province was something the boards trendy majority had not expected In particular they didnt relish Education Minister Bette Stephenson pointing out to them that the law requires schools to repeat the Lords Prayer or other suitable prayers daily Premier William Davis even took the unusual step of sending the board letter expressing his personal feelings that in 85 sence told the board to shape up As parent and concerned citizen simply do not believe that period of silence would fulfil the purpose for which our predecessors felt it was right to include the Lords Prayer in the daily program he said SOLNI VIEW Nor is the prayer an unfair imposition on the cultural heritage or freedom of many who have come to our country as matter of choice The prayer in Davis eyes establishes common respect for society where morality humility and faith in God are important pillars of stability and social norm And to that he added the crunch reason for insisting on continuation of the prayer It is part of the answer to need for spiritual basis to our society All of which is very true Yet one has to wonder about the emphasis on few lines usually mumbled over loudspeaker and divorced from context where it might make an impact on children REAL MEANING The prayers importance lies in it being the tip of the spiritual iceberg symbol of the reli gious cement so essential to keeping society from coming apart at the seams Unfortunately that glue has been watered down over the years to the point where recital of the Lords Prayer in schools is really hollow shell with little within The same letter from Stephenson telling the Toronto board they had to use the prayer also exempted the board from teaching religious education in the classrooms The reason for this request is the multicultural nature of our student population the board said LONG GONE Values will supposedly be integrated into all aspccts of the school curriculum instead In truth it is probably too late the disin tegration of the moral element in the public school system having already gone on for so long Seeking such dimension many Protestants 0r agnostics send their children to private religious or Roman Catholic separate schools While many people like Davis worry about the highly visible symbol of the prayer several decades of secularism have rotted away the spiritual pillars of the system beneath It is doubtful whether the current slow slide into moral anarchy is even reversible and in that context one prayer at day is not likely to make much difference one way or another Interpreting the news Russia stunned by defections By GLENNSOMERVILIE WASHINGTON tCPi The Russians are stunned and hurt while US officials are bemused and cautious about the recent spate of defections to the West by honored Soviet performers The defections by skaters Olcg and Lud milla Protopopov in Switzerland brought to five the number of wellknown Soviet per formers who have renounced Mother Russia in favor of the West in the last month In August Soviet ballet star Alexander Godunovs defection t0 the United States triggered threeday tugofwar between the Soviet Union and the US at New York before it was decided his wife was return to Moscow voluntarily Later dancer Leonid Kozlov and his wife Valentina detected from the same Bolshoi ballet tour US officials who interviewed Godunov and the Kozlovs feel the Soviets plan to clamp down on their many travelling artistic troupes because of rumors that more Soviet performers want to defect The first sign of tighter control may come next month The Russians are reported to be having second thoughts about going ahead with US tour by the Moscow State Sym phony JUMP TO WEST The five performers who jumped to the West are part of privileged slice of the Soviet Unions classless society Both US and Soviet officials say they arent clear about the reasons for the defections They seem to have as much to do with clash of lifestyles and artistic opportunity as any real choice of one political system over another The Kozunovs felt they would have more artistic freedom here an official who in terviewed them in Los Angeles said this week dont know how much dollars and cents had to do with it Godunov wants to live Western life Apparently not even such privileges as Western cars access to the latest fashions from Paris and Rome and luxurious apart ments available to Soviet stars were adequate plums for the defectors
